Question

Is it safe to take chorionic gonadotropin while pregnant?

Share

I'm living in China and having to use a translator to communicate with my doctor. My doctor wants me to start taking chorionic gonadotropin injections because my hcg levels aren't doubling anymore. At 7 weeks 4 days they increased to 77132, but didn't double from the previous weeks results of 45969. I'm already on progesterone. When I locked up CG shots online everything said pregnant women should not take it due to possible birth defects. I don't want to take it, if I can harm the baby.
